You'd think Voges and McKay would be the ones likely to miss out.

That will be 15% of your match fees thanks Mr Styris and Mr Johnson

And Rudi's just put Styris back in his box

Styris? Why? Johnson got sh1tty cos he got hit for 4, sook. Get over it. He'll do well in the IPL with that attitude won't he?

[Brucetiki]

Styris has just run Southee out

NZ 8/246 (46.2 overs)

Don't ask me, Styris was sooking to Rudi, and Rudi just shook his head, and his body language indicated meh

[Gozu]

Entertaining finish but NZ win by two wickets.

[Dogmatic]

Why aren't the spinners/slow bowlers being utilised?

In the 20/20 match Clarke did not know what to do when McCullum was on top.
Why not change the pace of the bowlers?
Both Smith and Hussey had overs left.

Tonight Hauritz and Clarke bowled 5 overs between them for 23 runs.
If you try the same thing you will normally get the same result.
